Not a whole lot of people genearally read my stuff here but since no one seems to have posted much since i've been here last....like nothing...i'll put up some of my more recient poems. Enjoy

I wrote this today because of how emotional i got just driving past my grandmother's old house. I've driven by it thousands of times but last night was different for some reason. I also have an idea for a story/shortie/capture whatever.


It’s amazing what the heart will put you though
All I had to do was drive by the house
And too many memories came back.

7 years after you left me
I still find myself spending random nights
Crying myself to sleep
Because you aren’t in my life

Those Easter egg hunts,
How exciting they were
Hiding in the leaves
How thrilling life was
Life seems so empty now
With you gone from my life

Was God angry with me?
Is that why he took you away
7 years later
I’m still missing everything about you
But I can still remember
Those little things that made life so grand

Walking back into that house
6 years after you left
Brought back so many memories
Memories I hadn’t thought of in a long time
Someone else lived there
But your heart still soared though it

I practically lived in that house
I knew it like the back of my hand
But those tears just wouldn’t stop falling
Looking at what used to be
Wishing it was what was now

It’s been 7 years
And I still miss you like crazy
Wondering what you’d say to me now
Wondering how proud of me you’d be
Wondering how often I’d be there instead of here

The wound may have healed
But that scar still remains
No matter how hard God tries
He can’t make me forget my favorite person
No matter what he does
My grandma
Will always live inside my heart.

Jeff helped me start this one but i lost the creativity while writing it and stopped, hoping to finish it later. well later came today. it's not quite the same mood/feeling as when i started but it's the general idea. my dad was almost as disappointing tonight as he was the night 7 of my friends graduated, including Kenny and Molly. *shakes head*


As I search for the words in me
I lose every thought
Writer’s block strikes again

No one can see
Why it is that I write
No one can see
It’s all a key to me

I live in my writing
I live in my pen
Life just wouldn’t matter
Without my words to express

Mother Nature is beautiful
Love is so painful
Life is so disappointing
Friendship is only an illusion

We spend every waking moment
Trying to fit in
Make someone like us
Feel like we matter

I’m tired of fighting
I want to get away
Away from this crazy world
And into my calm, relaxing images of words

The past is painful
The present burns
What will the future bring?

No one could possibly understand
My desperate need for words
Nor could they ever understand me
My life may be meaningful to some
But to most, I’m meaningless

I’m tired of fighting
Let me alone
I’m tired of holding on
I’ve watched too many friends
Slip through my own hands
To get close to anymore of you

Is all this pain really worth it all?

~~~~~~~~~~

I originally had something different written but i went to copy and paste it to a different word page but i lost it so i had to write it over by memory and then i just went from there. this one seemed a little harder to write since i'm in a depressed mood b/c Chad isn't here. I might add on to this later. I also have another Chad one i could share w/ you, but we'll wait.


Have you ever felt that feeling?
It goes deep inside you
The happiness will only come
When he’s around
You know everything will be alright
When he holds you in his arms
And kisses you with his lips
He is the reason for living
Just being around him,
You know
This is what life is all about
All the pain and suffering of the past
Is worth finding that special someone
And spending the rest of your life with him


~~~~~~

i have no titles for any of them so i'm open to suggestions.
